Question

Progesterone Advice

So I have been diagnosed with low progesterone, preventing implantation and terminating my pregnancies early. My doctor gave me progesterone suppositories to use after a BFP, but I feel like this isn't going to help me become pregnant. I see her again Friday where I plan to have a conversation about her advised treatment. I'm looking for advice on what to ask. Ideas on what to suggest as treatment. As well as maybe alternate progesterone supplements that people have used, so that we can explore all my options. I think healthcare needs to be more of a compromise between the client and doctor, and I like to explore all alternatives before I make a choice. Thanks!!!

Cheryllynn I have not tried it. I have not tried anything, I just recently learned of the diagnosis. I was suspecting the news but didn't want to try anything without knowing for sure that I needed it. I will ask the ob her opinion of it. Is it a vitamin?

I wanted to follow up for all of you out there looking for answers. My original blood test showed low progesterone but my 21-day blood results showed good levels. She is giving me progesterone suppositories to supplement my progesterone once I fall pregnant to reduce risk of early miscarriage again, as a preventative measure. We did an ultrasound of my uterine lining and it looked good so I feel more comfortable waiting until I get the BFP. Ultrasound also showed I'm close to O so let's hope we get the sticky bean.
